Our Authentication Process

Grading Scale​

Our team of experts created the first and most trusted glass grading system. With over 45+ combined years of collecting glass, we’ve consulted with thousands of the members of the glass community for a unique and trusted grading scale intended for reliability, consistency, and transparency.

​

Our grading scale is out of 5 points with the classifications below:

​

D5: DeadStock Mint

VD5: Virtual DeadStock Mint

​

Used

5: Mint
4.75-4.99: Excellent
4.5-4.74: Very Good
4-4.49: Good
3.5-3.99: Fair
3-3.49: Near Poor
2.5-2.99: Poor

2-2.49: Near Very Poor

1-1.99: Very Poor
0-0.99: Unacceptable


 

Conditions and intensifiers that determine

the score of your glass.

 

  • A DeadStock Mint (D5) is glass that is authentic, has never seen water or been used, and is authenticated in hand.

  • Virtual DeadStock Mint (VD5) is glass that is authentic, has never seen water or been used, and is pre-authenticated by the artist or verified sellers to be new and authentic. Pre-authenticated glass from verified sellers on the marketplace will be fully authenticated by our team before receiving your item.

  • A mint (5) represents glass that is virtually perfect. There are no chip/crack, scratches/flee bites, label fades, or staining on the glass.

  • Anything between a 4.75-4.99 (excellent) is a near-perfect piece. It may contain a minuscule amount of damage to the glass. This can include minuscule scratches/flee bite, chip/crack, label fades, and staining.

  • A very good condition (4.5-4.74) represents an item that may have more than one minuscule damage to the glass or one slight condition to the glass, including a chip/crack, water stain, label condition, or bloom.

  • Good condition (4-4.49) represents glass with one major flaw or a couple of intermediate flaws and minuscule/slight flaws.

  • Fair condition (3.5-3.99) is glass that may have one major flaw and most likely an intermediate/slight flaws.

  • Near Poor condition (3-3.49) glass may have multiple major flaws and potentially other flaws that may range from minuscule to intermediate. Pieces in this category are borderline in poor condition.

  • Poor condition (2.5-2.99) glass has multiple major flaws allowing the piece to visually appear it has endured damage over its lifetime.

  • Near Very Poor condition (2-2.49) glass will have at least 3 to 4 major flaws. A piece in this condition may start losing a visual appeal to the eye.

  • Very poor condition (1-1.99) is glass that has at least 4 major flaws and another minuscule or intermediate flaw on the glass. The glass has gone through advanced stages of wear and tear it barely has an appeal to the eye.

​

An unacceptable condition (0-0.99) is in the worst condition possible failing to meet an acceptable standard. It will have at least 5 major flaws with at least another minuscule to an intermediate flaw. The glass has advanced defects that the glass has lost the eye appeal entirely.
